SYMPTOMS

In an HTML document, you dynamically create an object element to load an ActiveX control. You use the method that is recommended at the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web site:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537508.aspx (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537508.aspx)
You use the CODEBASE attribute to set the URL of the ActiveX control. If the HTML document that contains the ActiveX control is embedded in an inline frame (IFrame), the URL of the ActiveX control is not related to the IFrame as expected. The URL of the ActiveX control is incorrectly related to the parent frame.

  • Use the absolute path to reference the URL of the ActiveX control.
  • Save the following documents in the same folder:
    • The HTML document of the IFrame
    • The HTML document of the parent document
